Biography

Trill Cut was born July 15 in Daytona Beach, FL.

In his first years of life, Trill Cut lived in Flagler Beach with his parents. At age two, the family moved to  Bunnell projects in Flagler County, an area in which Trill Cut’s  parents were raised. Shortly following the move his parents split and  Trill Cut went on to live with his mother. Although his father did not  live with him any more, he was still present in the neighborhood.

Living with his mother, Trill Cut saw her involved in multiple abusive  relationships that centered around violence, drugs and alcohol  dependency. It was also commonplace for him to see her childhood friends  – turned drug abusers – around the neighborhood during the drug-riddin  90s. During this time Trill Cut was in between homes, living with family  relatives as well as friends of the family, due to an unstable home  situation. Trill Cut’s eldest male cousin, Albert, took note of his  mothers’ inability to raise him by herself coupled with his worsening  behavior and distaste of authority. Knowing that Trill Cut needed a male  presence in his life, Albert moved him into his residence and later  they relocated to San Mateo, FL.

Albert, a prominent  underground producer, introduced Trill Cut to hip-hop greats such as  Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Scarface and many more which had a major  influence in molding Trill Cut as an artist.
With 10 people living  in the home and it being difficult for Albert to maintain the household,  Trill Cut’s aunt offered that he move in with her and her daughter back  in Bunnell.

Because of his fast-paced life before moving in  with his aunt and cousin, Trill Cut struggled to adjust, now having to  adhere to rules and certain expectations of a child at age 9. As an  outlet to the stress, Trill Cut began playing sports and befriended  Curtis Shine, who also had a great interest in music.

The two  began recording demos on tape and participating in school talent shows.  The two were dedicated to each other as brothers brought together by  music.

At the close of high school, Trill Cut, against all  odds, was accepted to the University of Florida. While in school Trill  Cut made a lot of different connections. After joining his fraternity he  started to take more interest in defining himself as an artist and  began to set musical goals to later achieve.

While dealing with  challenges in college, Trill Cut gained new ties with his mother and  father. During this time, he also had a son and daughter one year apart,  which made it difficult to continue his college coursework.

The group was  able to perform their hot single ‘On Grind’ at the Songwriters Composers  Music Conference in Greensborough, North Carolina.
